Data Point – NH Is Finally Out of Drought

I’ve been watching the Drought status for NH for a number of months. This new fascination was due to WMUR constantly harping that we’re in a terrible situation with respect lack of precipitation.  Most of that time, the southern border, especially the south-eastern, was in sever rought.  The north was pretty much normal. Most of the rest of the state was in “abnormally dry” which ISN’T a drought condition but still under.

Today, however, is the first time in months that NONE of the State had any color (don’t know where that 6.4% is located) – officially no drought at all.

I note the rightmost data points:

  • 20th wettest December was in 2022 over the last 128 years
  • 50th wettest year to date was in 2022 over the last 128 years

Not too shabby…
